Cygnet Hospital, Coventry

The new 56 bed unit for Cygnet Healthcare opened in April 2017.

The facility offers an all-female specialist mental health service, housing a highly specialised psychiatric intensive care unit and a locked rehabilitation unit.

This marks the opening of the 21st hospital for Cygnet Health in England offering the same high quality and effective assessment, treatment and support as the other 200 beds they provide across the UK. The wards offer a therapeutic environment, developing individual care plans with a focus on outcomes for the patients, with a clear goal to rehabilitate members back into their own surroundings.

The facility in Coventry has 7 step down flatlets that provide the opportunity to safely test independent living skills prior to re-integration into the community. These sit outside of the ward environment with their own access. There is a communal area, although each unit is self-contained with its own facilities for self-catering and laundry. The service Cygnet Health provide bridges the gap between hospital and community living and offers extensive engagement and therapy for people to help them enhance their daily living skills and become as independent as possible.

The final result was the supply of over 300 complete anti-ligature doorsets.

SWING anti-barricade doorsets were used for every bedroom and en-suite, complete with Duralux privacy vision panels, equipped with Oval Drive single key system. Associated door hardware also from the Kingsway anti-ligature range to provide a complete anti-ligature solution.

SOLO single action, fire rated doorsets from Kingsway Group cover were specified for every corridor and fire compartment, fitted with the Pyrolux clear glazed vision panel system.

As a certified BM Trada ‘Q’ mark door manufacturer all fire rated doorsets were plugged as being fire compliant to BS476 part 22.

On Thursday 2nd March 2017 Cygnet Hospital Coventry held its Grand Opening Day event. The event was attended by nearly 200 guests including service users, bed managers, commissioners and special guest, the Lord Mayor of Coventry, and with Debra K Osteen, the president of UHS (US based parent company of Cygnet Healthcare), cutting the ribbon!
